"The newspaper became online-only in July 2017 and launched its Russian-language service in 2020. In 2022, its headquarters were relocated to Amsterdam in the Netherlands in response to restrictive media laws passed in Russia after the invasion of Ukraine. The website was later banned in Russia.
Some foreign correspondents started their careers at the paper, including Ellen Barry, who later became The New York Times Moscow bureau chief." - wiki
“dense!”
Dense??? My comment was “*** CAUTIONARY NOTE: Moscow Times.” Which I will continue to repeat caution.
TRUE, the Moscow Times has a very interesting and yet convoluted history. In April 2014, the longtime editor-in-chief Andrew McChesney was replaced by Nabi Abdullaev, a former Moscow Times reporter, news editor, managing editor, and deputy editor-in-chief who had left in 2011 to head RIA Novosti’s foreign-language news service.
Shortly after his appointment, Abdullaev argued in The Guardian that the west’s “biased journalism ...robs the west of its moral authority”. In Autumn 2015 Abdullaev was removed from his post and replaced by Mikhail Fishman, former head of Russky Newsweek.
Today, when it comes to reporting on USA news, the Moscow Times has a negative opinion of Donald Trump and his relationship with Putin, e.g.: “Trump Isn’t Putin’s Puppet. He’s Just Unfit for Office.”
We both have have freedom of thought and expression to hold our point of view. I respect your freedom to hold your opinion. I also hold that it absolutely is not my responsibility to “change” or form the opinion for some one else.
Hopefully, the facts I share will add additional input on an issue. I understand difference of opinions are TOTALLY fine with me.
